Re: Reflector reborn

I saw this update appear just an hour ago when updating. And there was much rejoicing

I was thinking it would be a while for you to get the new apps together, since you RIP threads mentioned

That really refers to the larger project that I have in mind. There's just so much to do for it and it really will need several intensive coding sessions because it's not the kind of thing that I can just pick up and work on for a few hours now and then. Reflector, on the contrary, is simple and easy to bang out in one session.

It's one of those "you'll understand when you see it" things, but there's a chance that I will never get it done, which is why I've been reluctant to even mention it before... the curse of vaporware looms nigh.

And hundreds of vapor-chasing users will jump on Xyne's every post as a result

I've added a patch to the source archive that can convert it to Python 2. I won't be actively maintaining a Python 2 package, but I have included a section in the PKGBUILD that you can easily uncomment to create a package. How you deal with updates etc will be up to you.

Follow the pkgbuild link on the project page to get the latest PKGBUILD.

Re: Reflector reborn

Hey Xyne, great work. In my quest to saturate my cable modem during updates, I noticed the mirror score column at https://www.archlinux.org/mirrors/status/. I thought it would be nice to be able to sort reflector results by that instead of date. After adding 4 lines to the Reflector.py, I got it working (--sort score). I'm not familiar with how to make patches or anything, but because it's such a simple change I didn't think you would really need one anyway. Any chance you could do something similar?
